3,767 PointsHere's my code. The error asks if I forgot to create a method that accepts a char
I don't know if i understand the task correctly. The error seems to indicate that the method should take a char as a parameter?
public class ScrabblePlayer {
private String mHand;
public ScrabblePlayer() {
mHand = "";
}
public String getHand() {
return mHand;
}
public void addTile(char tile) {
// Adds the tile to the hand of the player
mHand += tile;
}
public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
return mHand.indexOf(tile) > -1;
}
public int getTileCount() {
int tileCount = 0;
for (char tile: mHand.toCharArray()) {
if(hasTile(tile)) {
tileCount = tileCount + 1;
}
}
return tileCount;
}
}

public int getTileCount(char inputChar)
Then instead of using hasTile to check you need to compare the char you got from the input to the char you are on in the loop.
for (char tile: mHand.toCharArray()) {
if(tile == inputChar) {
tileCount = tileCount + 1;
}
}
So you should end with something like
public int getTileCount(char inputChar) {
int tileCount = 0;
for (char tile: mHand.toCharArray()) {
if(tile == inputChar) {
tileCount = tileCount + 1;
}
}
return tileCount;
}
Goodluck! --Ricky

Treehouse TeacherYes you should pass a char
in to getTileCount
. The idea is to say something like how many 'b's are in my hand.
